strikethroughs
Lines through words
Strikethroughs are horizontal lines drawn through text to indicate deletion or obsolescence while keeping the original visible.
Common in editing to show what's being removed: The contract showed the strikethroughs from earlier negotiations.
In digital communication, strikethroughs often signal self-correction or ironic retraction: I think he's an idiot a nice person.
